The Man Who Would Be King

Rudyard Kipling

In this gripping tale of ambition, hubris, and imperial adventure, Rudyard Kipling takes us deep into the heart of 19th-century British India — and beyond, to the remote and mysterious land of Kafiristan. When two bold and cunning ex-soldiers, Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan, hatch a plan to become kings of an isolated region untouched by Western influence, they embark on a journey as daring as it is reckless. 
What begins as a quest for power and riches quickly becomes something far more dangerous, as legend, belief, and identity collide. Told through the eyes of a journalist who hears their story firsthand, The Man Who Would Be King is a darkly compelling exploration of colonial arrogance, human ambition, and the fine line between myth and madness. 
This classic novella, brought vividly to life in a new audio performance, remains as powerful and thought-provoking today as when it was first published in 1888.

In the 18th century West Indies, stories hold the ultimate power. Sailors spin yarns about pirates. Newspapers tell tales full of half-truths. Myths spread like whispered wildfire. 
  
East India Company sailor Nicholas Jerome has no patience for pirates, determined to escape his father's thieving past. After a convict and an enslaved woman escape his grasp with the aid of an aristocrat's mysterious wife, he faces one last chance to save his career. Finding an unexpected home with a new crew, he gains a chosen younger brother in René Delacroix, the son of his wealthy captain and the grandson of Jamaica's cruel governor. 
  
But there's a storm brewing in the Delacroix household. For René and his best friend Frantz, the Robin Hood tales about legendary pirate Ajani Danso and his famed female quartermaster are a lifeline amidst the governor's abuse. Danso robs greedy merchants, frees slaves, and shelters queer sailors, inspiring the downtrodden across the New World. 
  
When death and betrayal shatter the lives they knew, René and Jerome each face a choice: obey, or rebel. 
  
A war for history's favor begins, and as an uprising against colonialism erupts on the ocean, everyone must choose a story to believe in.

The Big Tilt

Dan Flanigan

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished 
The war in Vietnam didn’t kill Peter O’Keefe. Neither did his run-in with ruthless crime boss "Mr. Canada" in the Arizona desert. But chasing after justice in his own hometown just might. 
A year after the private detective uncovered a criminal ring disguised as a mink farm in the Ozarks, O’Keefe is back home and back in trouble. A high school crush of O’Keefe’s turns up dead, but the details don’t add up. His pal, Mike Harrigan, has put his trust in the wrong people and now stands accused of crimes that could put him in the slammer. And O’Keefe? The mafia has put a price on his head. 
In their search for the truth, O’Keefe and his team will have to venture into the criminal underworld of their city, each step forward bringing them closer to the edge. As trouble begins creeping closer to home, O’Keefe must decide if he’s willing to pay the cost of justice — before someone else makes the decision for him.
